3-0 now... still just 1 out.  This game could be over before an Astro even steps into the box.

Damn it, I even decided to try Noe's suggestion, so I came home and mowed the yard. I come in, shower, and then turn on the TV, only to find out that we're already down 3-0.

Maybe the Fort Bend guy wrote that winning the series was "practically impossible" because he read strosrays' preview and saw that Wandy was on the hill tonight.

2 run game now, and it's early

Wandy nuts up and gets out a bases-loaded, one-out situation (after a Biggio error). Maybe that'll be a spark for everybody else.

Lane was a winner at every level.  he is also out of options, so even if he bats -.342, we are bound by the CBA to keep him on the roster, or face the wrath of a Trident wielding Sheriff Blaylock and his posse of rabid, switch blade toting wolverines.

That was definitely a lousy throw from Everett, but it's likely there's not even the need for a throw if Pence doesn't do his little chicken hop thing out there after picking up the ball.

Meanwhile, Encarnacion finds an acorn at 3B.

It didnt help that Ausmus for some reason seemed determine to keep his foot on the plate, as if there was a force, instead of going and getting the ball.

whatever, that was a routine throw for someone who is so special in the field.   And a play that someone who bats 200 HAS to make every time.

I don't gte it 2 border line strike calls.  Where's the love for the home team?

I'm thinking that when you're on an eight-game losing streak and haven't shown any ability whatsoever to hit the ball, the umpires probably aren't going to be very accommodating.

Anyone listening to the radio? Milo's partner (whichever one it is) didn't even try to hide his disgust.

On another note - anyone watching on TV that can explain what happened? Both the radio broadcast and MLB.com's Gameday indicate Loretta came out, then OP pinch hit for him. Did Garner actually burn Loretta there, or what?

ETA: Gameday corrected itself, but Milo and OtherGuy (still can't keep them straight) both said Loretta came out, then got called back in favor of OP.
